God's love never leaves

Once God has poured out His love into me, it always remains. How assuring and comforting!

I don't always follow a daily prayer schedule and inevitably, am vulnerable to the devil's insidious ways. A thought against God's values crept into my my mind, but that was the wakeup call to go back in prayer to Him. Praying two decades of the Divine Mercy Chaplet helped pull me back :)

My God is great though. He doesn't leave me with the love He previously poured into me but gives me more of it. I felt a fleeting moment of it during Mass and that left me teary. I knew then that it was He who was again revealing His love to me. It may have been fleeting but it was real. With God, one second of reveling in Him is more than enough due to the intensity of it :)

He has shown me His miracles in my life too. I was down with a bad throat and cough, but I was still able to praise Him with my voice, though not at my usual level. Still, that was enough for me. He also physically sustained me and protected me from a bad fall :) He has been graciously answering my prayer and those of others for me, by healing my left arm.

The most obvious sign that I reciprocate His love, and that is important to me, is that I still feel love for Him when I pray certain P&W songs. I can thank Him with true gratitude, refresh my emotional weariness and irritation in His presence, and declare with my soul that "my heart will follow wholly after you". Praise the Lord!

Lastly, He still deems me worthy to be His gentle and humble instrument to others. I know that is true, for there is trust and openness towards me. I thank the Lord for His continual promptings in me :)
